Of these, [underline] one [/underline] graduated in the last class, [underline] two [/underline] have found other means of support and do not now ask for aid; [underline] one [/underline] felt com- pelled to leave College on account of the failure of the means of support; and [underline] one [/underline] has [underline] joined the [/underline] army, is a Lieutenant in a Co. of Cavalry.
